Let Amanda's age = x.
Gregory's age = x + 5.

Since Gregory is 17 years old.
17 = x + 5
x = 17 - 5
x = 12

Amanda is 12 years old.

Assuming the interest is simple interest, as opposed to compound interest,

$\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Simple Interest Earned Amount}\\\\
A=P(1+rt)\qquad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to& \$3600\\
r=rate\to 9\%\to \frac{9}{100}\to &0.09\\
t=years\to &25
\end{cases}

A=3600(1+0.09\cdot 25)\implies 3600(3.25)$
